I'd say that "No Country for Old Men" challenges both those assumptions.

As does Gladiator. I watched it again last night.

I feel that once a black fella has referred to white foks as "honky paleface devil white-trash cracker redneck Caspers," he's abdicated the right to get upset about the "N" word. But that's just me. -- Jim Goad

I was really surprised that Wall E and The Dark Knight were not listed. Wall E is the best animated film since The Incredibles and the Academy rarely gives action films a nod....but the Dark Knight went beyond a dumb comic book movie. It's sad that good animation and comedies are rarely considered. Exceptions: "Annie Hall"

I saw Benjamin Button. That was surprisingly good.

Phooey! It was alot like Forrest Gump...same attitude and pace...not as good though. I doubt it will have staying power like Gump.

Let's just say I like good films.

What about The Wrestler? I heard alot of Oscar buzz surrounding that one for a while.

I have seen Doubt, Dark Knight and Gran Torino and all three were very good. My personal favorite was Doubt, mainly for the drama. DK was a great action flick and Torino was excellent for demonstrating how relationships can change people.

"Doubt" was a good name for that Movie.Definitely left me in doubt.

DK was OK,over hyped for the most part, People can deny it all they want but if it wasn't for ledger Od'ing I suspect that movie wouldn't have gotten much notice.

Gran Torino is my kinda movie. People portrayed doing supposedly the wrong things for the right reason & the right things for supposedly the wrong reason

The 21st century. The age of Smart phones and Stupid people.

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

right...but talking about the final ones that will actually get the nod. I doubt they will be on there. Do you?
